It's breeding season for corns right now and males are especially distracted, frequently going off their food for a while.

3 feedings is definitely alright to miss. If the snake is still active I wouldn't be too worried about it. Many snakes can go a long time without eating anything. The record was 2.5 years for a ball python and it ate after that and still lived - crazy

Besides being Breeding Season, most of the nakes I have owned seem to lose their appetites for awhile after shedding.

Snakes can go for months without eating. I wouldn't worry about it right now.
